There’s been some nice writeups on several blogs, I think it was great that the show moved on and had another chance to shine.

Some of the blog news featuring Generator.x 2.0:

(Ok, that last one was gratuitous. So sue me…)

It was inspiring to see so much great work that didn’t even exist only a week before. I want to thank all the participants for making this such a great project, as well as the people at Club Transmediale and [DAM]Berlin for supporting the event.

Documentation of the exhibition will be on Flickr soon enough, for now I’m struggling to get the 200+ pictures I took online piece by piece. Here’s a selection of photos taken towards the end of the workshop, showing some of the work that are now in the exhibition, be sure to also check out the Generator.x 2.0 Flickr group. Anyone who has pictures from the event should add theirs as well.

Marc Fornes just blogged the details of its construction, definitely worth a look.

I saw this sculpture in one of the galleries in the Lindenstraße 35 in Berlin Mitte. I was told that it is a piece out of a series of sculptures that can all fit inside each other. Sadly I forgot the artists name, but it was the gallery on the 2nd floor on the right, if anyone is interested in seeing it. A trip to these galleries is well worth it and there are a lot of other things to see.

You can use it to post pictures from the workshop, sketches etc.

Please tag your pictures with “gx20″ as well as with “generator.x” to make it easier to identify the pictures from the workshop.
